"What's going on?" the curious Jiang Chen almost blurted out.

Xu Hao smiled slightly, but Jiang Chen saw a trace of desolation from his smile, Xu Hao's eyes looked into the distance and said: "I joined the army at the age of seventeen, and my family sent me to join the army because they hoped that I could get a stable job after I retired. At the beginning, I also hoped that I could survive for two years, and then retire and go home, and marry a daughter-in-law to warm up the kang!" Xu Hao, who is a big man in the Northeast, has a straightforward temper that makes Jiang Chen a little unbearable.

"However, this kind of thinking was quickly stifled by me!" Xu Hao's face showed a trace of pain, "After I came out of the recruit company, I went to a border outpost to guard and patrol the mission. More than a month later, the squad leader took me and four veterans to patrol the border according to the daily regulations. However, halfway through, we unexpectedly encountered a team of drug dealers numbering about thirty, and we could have followed them all the way. Wait for reinforcements from the regiment to wipe them all out. However, the drug dealers kidnapped a local girl who was picking yams, and more than 30 people surrounded a girl, and fools knew what to do!" Xu Hao's hands tightly grasped the steering wheel of the jeep: "The squad leader has a week to retire and go home to accompany his wife and children, and we are all waiting for the squad leader's decision, at that time, he resolutely took four veterans to save the girl!"

"And me?" Xu Hao smiled slightly, his eyes began to redden, "Because I am a new recruit, the squad leader excluded me and asked me to pick up reinforcements from the regiment." Before leaving, the squad leader handed me a package and told me to hand it over to the regiment. At the time, I knew exactly what it would be like to touch more than 30 people with five people, but I left anyway. I left all my weapons and ammunition behind, and ran away like a dead dog with the package the squad leader gave me!"

"Don't you feel like I'm a coward?" Xu Hao turned his face and glanced at Jiang Chen and asked.

"I don't know. Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head blankly, if he was the same as Xu Hao, he didn't know what to do.

"This is my first and only time as a deserter. Xu Hao took a heavy puff of his cigarette, and the white smoke slowly exhaled from his nostrils, "Not long after I left, gunshots and explosions quickly rang out. I ran forward with all my might, and at that time I only had one thought, find the company commander! Find the team!" After more than ten years of fighting, Xu Hao was full of cold-blooded even when he was talking about what he had personally experienced, but Jiang Chen heard a different taste.

Although he is also a soldier now, what Xu Hao said is so far away from him, but so close, it is still difficult for him to imagine that as a veteran who is about to go home to accompany his wife and children, he should not have thought about his wife and children at that time, and he should have thought about nothing at that time.

"When I rushed back to the battle site with Commander Bai, who was still a company commander at the time, in addition to the bodies of seven or eight drug dealers, a large number of bullet casings and traces of explosions were all over the jungle, and we continued to search along the traces of blood and battle. Along the way, there were sporadic corpses of several drug dealers, and after searching for a few hundred meters, we found the body of the first veteran, the whole body was blown to pieces. However, we didn't find the veteran's head, his head was cut off by drug dealers and taken back to ask for credit! We collected all the stumps and fragments and searched forward again, and in the process of searching for several kilometers, we found the bodies of the other three veterans one after another, all of them were injured and could not move and took the initiative to stay and cut off, without exception, all the corpses had no heads! None of the corpses were complete!" Jiang Chen, who was sitting beside Xu Hao, felt a chill on his back, and he felt a powerful murderous aura permeating the surroundings.

"By the time we heard the gunshots again, several hours had passed, and when Commander Bai, who was still the company commander at the time, hurriedly smelled the gunshots with a company of troops, he saw more than a dozen drug dealers holding guns and constantly searching for something in the dense forest, and often a soldier covered in blood would come out and drag a drug dealer to the ground, and then kill him with one blow! That was our squad leader Zhang Daoping, a young man who had just finished high school before joining the army, but now he is a hero. The wrath of the horseman, the blood splattered five steps. He relied on his inner will to continue to hunt one drug dealer after another, after we launched the attack, I saw him fall down with a smile, when the white regiment commander and the medical staff ran in front of him, even the doctors who had been on the border for more than 20 years were stunned by the scene in front of them, the squad leader was shot in more than ten places all over his body, there was no extra blood to flow out of the wound, and his face became like a blank piece of paper due to excessive blood loss. The squad leader's hand kept pointing into the distance, and his eyes were staring straight in that direction. Commander Bai asked a squad of soldiers to search and found the captive girl, the knocked out girl fell asleep peacefully, the squad leader smiled and closed his eyes, and never woke up again!" Xu Hao held the steering wheel in one hand, put a cigarette in the other hand on the car window, and looked at the front with his eyes leisurely. A few tears flowed from his eyes.

"Whew!" Xu Hao took another heavy puff of cigarette, a puff of white smoke came out of his mouth, sorted out his emotions, and said again: "When cleaning the battlefield, we didn't find the head of the sacrificed veteran. When I handed over the package given to me by the squad leader, Commander Bai, who had led the team into the drug dealer's lair, asked me to send the package to the regiment headquarters, leaving a squad of soldiers to clean up the battlefield and lead the remaining more than 100 soldiers to march to the south with murderous spirits. I opened the package, and there were five envelopes neatly lined inside. Then, I saw more and more people coming up to me, pulling out an identical envelope from their tactical vests, tearing off their epaulettes and armbands, their ranks, and everything that would prove their identity, and stuffing them into the envelope and handing them to me. The things of more than a hundred people were stacked in front of me like a small mountain. At that time, when I looked at the things in front of me and the corpses of my comrades next to me, I felt a feeling that I had never felt before. I disobeyed, I tore off my identity certificate, and followed Commander Bai with a captured rifle!" Jiang Chen was completely stunned when he heard this, he could completely guess what would happen next.

Xu Hao gently spit out a smoke ring and said with a smile: "That day was the first time I admired and liked the person of Regiment Commander Bai and his character, and I also fell in love with the soldiers. That night, Commander Bai pulled a company of men and took a few prisoners to cross the border line privately, find the lair of this drug dealer, and then attack. Before the attack, I saw clearly the faces of more than a hundred comrades, full of anger and determination, and they knew very well what the consequences of this incident were, and I knew very well. But no one cared, when I shot a bullet into the drug dealer's head, I didn't have a trace of fear after seeing the drug dealer's head explode like a watermelon, on the contrary, I could feel my adrenaline rush all over my body, I fell in love with this feeling, and I still remember the excitement vividly. Then, things got bigger, and Captain Bai slaughtered the entire drug dealer's lair, leaving not a single living mouth, but finally found the veteran's head. Although this is a righteous battle, after all, we crossed the border line without permission and entered the territory of another country, and the head of the white regiment took all the responsibility and was removed from his post and investigated, if it weren't for the force behind him to protect him with all his might, he would have been reincarnated a long time ago. However, the commander of the military region at that time quickly reactivated him, because his Tiger Regiment had the combat effectiveness it has today, and he did not do anything less in violation of discipline. However, the soldiers of the whole Tiger Regiment like him, protect the calves! In the past, he was a company commander, and he could take a company of people to kill, but now I am really afraid that one day he will take a group of people to kill abroad!" Xu Hao, who said this, shook his head with a smile, but he never expected that a few months later, Bai Regiment Commander would indeed do this for him and Jiang Chen, although he was stopped in the end.

"Jiang Chen, you have to remember. You are now a soldier, a Chinese soldier. Your mission now is to defend our land. If one day you betray the Motherland and kill people with what I taught you. If I could, I would kill you with my own hands! I would not let you go even if I died! For traitors, the sword only has its own way of execution!" Xu Hao suddenly looked at Jiang Chen coldly, such a betrayal had happened to him, but he found it in time and dealt with the traitor quickly.

"Uncle Xu, I know!" Jiang Chen nodded heavily. The jeep got into the jungle, and the bumpy road didn't know how long it would take. And Jiang Chen also fell asleep in the bumps.

I don't know how long it took, when Jiang Chen was woken up by Xu Hao. The jeep had already stopped in front of a simple wooden house, and in the middle of the night, Jiang Chen couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly at all, so he could only carry a backpack and walk into the wooden house under the leadership of Xu Hao.

"Have a good rest tonight and don't need to train tomorrow. Therefore, tomorrow may be your last chance to rest in the next three months. Call me squad leader in the future!" Xu Hao took Jiang Chen into a room that looked like a bedroom. There are only two simple wooden beds and a desk in the room.

"I see. Jiang Chen put the backpack in his hand on the only empty bed and took out the contents of the backpack one by one. I saw that Xu Hao was already sitting in front of the table at this time, leaning over to write something.

"Squad leader, what are you writing?" Jiang Chen, who had finished laying the quilt, leaned on the soft quilt and looked up at Xu Hao in front of the table.

"I will hurry up and send back to the LTTE the equipment and other things you need for training, and send them back to the LTTE at night. Xu Hao replied without looking back.

"Is there a telephone line here?" Jiang Chen, who reacted, lay down from the bed neatly.

"Well, I just troubled the head of the white regiment a few days ago. At the head of my bed. Xu Hao, who had a free hand, pointed to his bedside and said. Following Xu Hao's fingers, Jiang Chen really saw a white landline phone.

"Then can I call?" Jiang Chen looked at Xu Hao eagerly, leaving home for the first time, his longing for home was incomparable.

"Yes, you can. However, according to the regulations in the army, it can only be done on weekends and once a week. Xu Hao's words poured on Jiang Chen's body like a basin of cold water, which immediately made Jiang Chen's heart half cold.

"Alright, it's not early, hurry up. After finishing the plan, Xu Hao turned around and returned to the bed, picked up the phone and dialed the phone in the duty room of the Tiger Regiment. I saw Jiang Chen, who was unhappy, covering his face with a quilt, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hello, I'm Xu Hao......" Xu Hao held the thin piece of paper in his hand.

By the time Xu Hao finished calling, Jiang Chen had already fallen asleep. Xu Hao shook his head with a smile, picked up a small iron box from under the table, and lit the hay inside. Suddenly, a fragrant smell spread throughout the room.

This is the traditional Chinese medicine used to repel mosquitoes that Xu Hao found in the entire jungle for a year. The mosquitoes in the rainforest are no bigger than the small mosquitoes in the big cities, and the mosquitoes here have more deadly viruses.

After ordering, Xu Hao got into the quilt after checking again to confirm that there was nothing to do, and soon fell asleep.
